Orlando Vacation Villa
Orlando FL

What are you waiting for? Now’s the perfect time to escape from the winter doldrums and head down to sunny Florida where pristine beaches, temperate sunny days and attractions galore await you. Planning a trip to Florida must include a visit to Orlando, the third largest city in Central Florida and the third most popular US Destination for overseas travelers with approximately 2.5 million overseas visitors per year and about 36 million from the United States. What are some crucial things to know before you plan your visit to Orlando, which is aptly nicknamed, “The City Beautiful”? One important piece of information would be the climate. A stay in an orlando vacation villa in the sunshine state will be that great escape you have been searching for during the harsh, snowy winter season. Orlando is known for its temperate climate where the region typically produces sunny days and mild nights. Expect an average temperature in the low 70’s during the winter months (October-February), with June through September’s temperatures the warmest. These months will also produce the highest humidity often cooled by an afternoon thunderstorm. Some of the most comfortable months, temperature-wise are March, April, May, October and November with average daytime highs of about 80.

Getting to Your Orlando Vacation Villa

Orlando is such a popular destination that your transport to your orlando vacation villa should be easy. Orlando International Airport (MCO) is the largest in Central Florida. All the major airlines service MCO along with charters and discount airlines. A package deal can wrap airline reservations, your orlando vacation villa accommodations and theme parks passes all into one. A lesser known but up and coming airport is Sanford International Airport, farther to the north of Orlando. Renting a car for transport to your orlando vacation villa is a good idea, especially if you intend on more sightseeing than visits to your average theme park. Beware of the one way streets if you’re spending a day sightseeing in the city. Amtrak may be a good transport option with direct services between Orlando and Miami, Gainesville and other northern locations. Greyhound buses take you to all the major Florida cities. Depending on the location of your orlando vacation villa, you may find easy access to the public bus system. The Lynx Bus system is highly efficient and inexpensive with a free downtown circuit. Catching buses to Disney parks is, however, a long ride.
